yeah I feel like at Yellow, Green, and Blue pay is coming up but will probably never be anywhere near what Brown, Purple, Neon Blue or polished Silver is.

Not what my W2 says. Yes he was shocked it had come up that high because for a time F9 captains did make less than SWA FOs.

My first year at UAL, I’d commute on DAL on a somewhat regular basis. And about a quarter of the time I’d have one of the guys tell me “hey you know we’re hiring”. I’d always tell them I was not from said Delta hub and was going to be moving back home to my UAL domicile. That my family was near my UAL domicile and we were only living in the Dal hub because I didn’t want to commute while at my regional with no family. Most guys would get it. But there were a few who looked beyond puzzled. And repeated I could probably get hired at DAL and eventually get based in said DAL hub. It made for an interesting conversation.

As a F9 commuter, I've had my fair share of "You got your stuff in?" at a couple of the legacies. I rotate through canned responses, but I've enjoyed going with "Too many DUI's" lately. Nice and quiet afterward.

I'm glad that BK's and BK-era contracts are a thing of the past (right now) and WN has managed to solidify their position as a much coveted, desirable place to work. Up and up for everybody.
